Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?

I spin Cds, just purchased a Neodio Origine S2 cd player , a fair amount of money but the music sounds sublime; draws me further to and into the music. To my ears the music is presented with more natural tone, texture and timber; there's more body to the sound; the sound-stage is more refined; the frequency extremes are well balanced; and there's no digital edginess.

@grannyring - Thank you. Guessing that you should be close to receiving your Tron Atlantic Signature DAC. I auditioned the GT version while at Gestalt Audio and very much understand why you wrote up the review you did of it; it is thoroughly engaging.

@jafant - In my main system my previous sources were a Mojo Audio EVO DAC and Simaudio 260D CD Transport. I enjoyed listening with them and have moved them into my 2nd system. I don’t stream but if I decide to and want to use my main system the Neodio also has SPDIF and USB digital inputs for that purpose.

@grannyring - Bill you are welcome to take the drive down I 40W anytime

@jafant - yes as grannyring noted , I purchased it from Gestalt Audio in Nashville TN.  +1 regarding his comments about Colin

@jafant - I live in a suburb just outside of Memphis.

Aside from the Neodio I have also purchased 3 sets of Tchernov cables from Gestalt.

I have made a few purchases from Atlelier 13 , an Aqua Dac that I no longer have, Takek supertweeters, LessLoss Firewalls for speakers.. Constantine is like Colin, knowledgeable and easy to speak to.

@jafant -  The audio shops that were in Memphis are long gone. Feel free to reach out when you are in Memphis
